Question

Use long division to determine the decimal equivalent of fraction with numerator 7 and denominator 9. 0 point 6 bar 0 point 7 bar 0 point 8 bar 0 point 9 bar

Answer 1

⅔ will be 0.67

Explanation:

In order to determine the decimal equivalent of ⅔. We will perform the long division by the following steps.

• The denominator 3 will be outside the long division sign while the numerator 2 will be inside the long division sign.
• Then add 0 with 2 as 2 cannot be divided by 3 in general.
• After this we will divide 20 by 3 and will get the quotient 0.6666 which can be written as 0.67 near to two decimal places.
• Therefore, ⅔ will be 0.67.

Answer 2

0.7

Explanation:

To find the decimal equivalent of the fraction
`(7)/(9)`we need to simply divide the two values.

_0.77_

9 | 7.00

63

70

63

7

Now since we know that we will always get a value of 7 when we drop a 0 into the equation, then we can stop here.

We get a 0 at the beginning because you cannot divide 7 by 9.

In long division anything that comes after a decimal point will come after the decimal point.
